  "account": "US President Donald Trump ruled out the possibility of a military strike on Iran on Sunday, stating that \"the answer is no\" when asked about the matter. The White House did not rule out military action in the future.\n\nEarlier in the day, Trump revealed that he had not yet decided whether to resume strikes against Iran or seek an agreement. He emphasized that the decision was the only remaining choice.\n\nTrump noted that there appeared to be little activity at Iran's nuclear facility at Pickaxe Mountain, as well as at three other sites previously targeted in strikes. He clarified that the US was closely monitoring these locations.\n\nThis came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed grave concerns over Iran's actions. On social media platform X/Twitter, Netanyahu warned that Israel was facing a \"real and tangible existential danger\" from Iran. He stated that time was running out for both Israel and the US to take decisive action against Iran.\n\nNetanyahu shared a video of an IDF anti-missile battery, declaring that the Israeli Defense Forces were prepared for both defense and offense. He cautioned his adversaries, declaring that they would face strikes far more powerful than they could imagine.",
  "summary": "Trump also said that the US is actively monitoring activity at Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site as well as three other sites that were allegedly destroyed in previous strikes.",
